1.1 Description
This document describes the installation and operation of the Quasonix 3
rd
Generation Compact RDMS™ Telemetry
Receiver. The RDMS™ (Receiver / DeModulator / bit Synchronizer) is designed to demodulate RF signals in
multiple formats:
•
PCM/FM (ARTM Tier 0)
•
SOQPSK-TG (ARTM Tier I)
•
Multi-h CPM (ARTM Tier II or ARTM CPM)
•
Legacy (PSK) suite, including
•
BPSK
•
QPSK
•
Asymmetric QPSK (AQPSK)
Requires -37 option
•
Asymmetric Unbalanced QPSK (AUQPSK)
Requires -37 option
•
Offset QPSK (OQPSK)
•
Unbalanced QPSK (UQPSK)
•
Digital PM
•
STC
•
SOQPSK/LDPC
•
STC/LDPC
The RDMS™ provides true trellis demodulation in ARTM Tier 0, Tier I, and Tier II modes, delivering BER
performance within 0.2 dB of theory. It also provides a clock signal (two clock signals in the AQPSK and AUQPSK
modes), obviating the need for any outboard bit synchronizer.
Modes that support LDPC use IRIG-standard low-density parity check coding to dramatically improve link margin
by up to 9 dB.
The RDMS™ is manufactured by:
